New Insights on the Maternal Diet Induced-Hypertension: Potential Role of the Phenotypic Plasticity and Sympathetic-Respiratory Overactivity.

TL;DR: New insights on the maternal diet induced-hypertension that include the potential role of the phenotypic plasticity, specifically the perinatal protein malnutrition, and sympathetic-respiratory overactivity are addressed.
Journal ArticleDOI

Active maternal phenotype is established before breeding and leads offspring to align growth trajectory outcomes and reflex ontogeny

TL;DR: In conclusion, active maternal phenotype is established before breeding allowing mothers to fit ecological and influencing growth trajectory outcomes and reflex ontogeny of the offspring based on matrilineal experience.
Journal ArticleDOI

Maternal voluntary physical activity attenuates delayed neurodevelopment in malnourished rats

TL;DR: Maternal physical activity should be considered as a therapeutic means of countering the effects of maternal undernutrition, by providing a useful strategy for enhancing the neuronal activity of children born to mothers who experience a restricted diet during pregnancy.
Journal ArticleDOI

Effects of maternal low-protein diet and spontaneous physical activity on the transcription of neurotrophic factors in the placenta and the brains of mothers and offspring rats.

TL;DR: Both maternal protein restriction and spontaneous physical activity influence the gene expression of BDNF, NTRK2, IGF-1, and IGF-3 in the placenta and the fetus’ brain, with spontaneousPhysical activity being able to normalize in part the defects caused by protein restriction during pregnancy.
